CaeReflex Wiki

CaeReflex is deterministic engineering-evidence infrastructure for Physics-AI. It converts OpenFOAM, Gmsh and VTK-family artefacts into provenance-preserving ReflexCase evidence, lazy heavy-data references, backend-neutral spatial graphs, deterministic physics-rule reports and governed lifecycle records for humans and AI systems.

Boundary of use (warning): CaeReflex is an inspection, evidence and workflow-control system. It does not run solvers, validate simulations, prove convergence, certify engineering results, assess mesh adequacy, establish regulatory compliance or determine design safety.

Supported evidence paths

• OpenFOAM case dictionaries, mesh topology, fields, dimensions and time inventories through bounded read-only inspection.
• Gmsh .geo declarations, supported .msh topology and fields, and safe CAD-like geometry fingerprinting.
• VTK legacy and supported XML-family datasets, collections, topology and fields with explicit fallbacks.
• Content-addressed lazy arrays for heavy coordinates, connectivity and field values.
• Backend-neutral spatial entities, coordinate frames, relations, bounds and bounded queries.
• Versioned deterministic physics-consistency rules with evidence pointers, limitations and remediation.
• Projects, immutable revisions, run histories, temporal comparisons, append-only human review and bounded local jobs.
